The volume of a rectangular prism is 960 cubic inches. If the dimensions of the base are doubled and the height remains the same to create a new prism, what will be the volume of the new rectangular prism in cubic inches?
+129840 If the dimensions of the base are doubled.......the volume increases by 4 times.......to see this, note that the original base dimensions can be written as L x W
So....the total volume, before doubling = L x W x H
But......if the dimensions of the base are doubled, the new volume = 2L x 2W x H = 4 [ Lx W x H]
So, the new volume = 4 x 960 = 3840 in^3
